THIS Bollywood Actress Worked With Shah Rukh Khan Before Becoming Salman Khan's 'Bhabhi'
Last Updated:
This Bollywood actress worked with Shah Rukh Khan in the 1989 popular TV show Circus. Any guesses?
Actress Renuka Shahane gained widespread recognition after starring in the 1994 film Hum Aapke Hain Koun. While many know Shahane as Salman Khan's beloved bhabhi in the movie, few remember that she also shared screen space with Shah Rukh Khan in his early television days. SRK and Renuka co-starred in the 1989 popular TV show Circus.
Recently, Renuka appeared on the podcast 'InControversial with Pooja Chaudhri', when she recalled working with SRK and said, 'His attitude towards work is absolutely fabulous. Actually, Shah Rukh is the kind of professional that everybody should dream to be…And second is his treatment of everybody on the set. He's such a gracious person. He makes no distinction between a spot person and a producer or a director, actor – nothing. His relationships on the set are on that equal level, when the star does that, the entire set feels invigorated."
When Shah Rukh Khan Called Renuka His 'Pehli Heroine'
Interestingly, Shah Rukh Khan also teased Renuka as his 'pehli (first) heroine" in 2023 when the actress went to watch the movie Pathaan with her husband, Ashutosh Rana. Back then, Renuka took to his X handle to share pictures with Rana from the screening of the movie and wrote, 'Finally going to watch #Pathaan. Mausam bilkul sahi hai, kursi ki peti baandh li hai (The weather is good, have fastened the seat bealts). With Col Luthra ji."
Reacting to it, Shah Rukh Khan said, 'Col Luthraji ko bataya aapne ki aap meri pehli heroine hain (Did you tell Col Luthra that you are my first heroine)!! Or should we keep it a Top Secret otherwise he may fire me from the agency!!!"

Renuka also responds to SRK, saying, 'Hahaha unsey koi baat chhupti kahaan hai? Aaphi ne unhe antaryaami kaha hai. Aur chaahey jo ho jaaye, woh aapko fire nahi kar saktey kyunki jo kaam aap kartey hain woah koi aur nahi kar saktaa (Can anything be hidden from him? You only have called him all-knowing. And whatever might happen, he can't fire you because nobody can do the work you do)."
